The Clearview Board saw a high level of interest and uptake for the pilot Community Initiative Support Program.
The approved proposals possessed the largest benefit to Clearview students and the greatest likelihood to succeed.
Expenditures may be spent in 2023 or 2024 and projects must be completed no later than Aug. 31, 2024. The approved community projects are either on, or in, school areas, or are used by students towards their learning success.
“Outdoor recreational spaces are a great benefit to healthy lifestyles for our students and families,” says Guy Neitz, Board Chair. “We are excited to partner with school councils, parent volunteers and local governments to improve recreational opportunities in our communities.”
The following list details how the funds will be distributed:
Big Valley School – Playground Enhancement Project $15,000;
Botha School – Playground Enhancement Project $10,000;
Brownfield Community School – Public Library $5,000;
Byemoor School Educational Society – Outdoor Basketball Court $5,000;
Coronation School – Inclusive Playground System $20,000;
Donalda School – Outdoor Playspace $17,500;
Erskine School / Erskine Social Recreation Society – Outdoor Skating Rink Improvements $17,500;
Gus Wetter School – Track / Soccer Field Improvements $10,000.
Clearview recognizes the work done by communities and families to ensure that viable community facilities and outdoor spaces are available, both for the community at large and for the students in our division.
Such spaces are an integral part of both rural areas and the learning success of students.
Trustees will determine any future years’ dollars based on the success of this year’s program.
